So just just I mean, you have, like, we cant You just cant skip that. See, White. Its in. You know him from the hit show Flipping Boston, one of the first real estate flipping houses shows on TV. Sounds simple, right? We already did one press release. Im just like you like its not a Its a good thing, but I think the test there is if youre the smartest person in the room, your goal as an entrepreneur founder, whether youre doing real estate or anything else is to get people who are smarter than you. They have one billion with a B dollars under under management assets under management. Maybe maybe first end the first quarter. Right? Awesome scroll all the way down there. Yeah, definitely, Definitely. Last, I could go on like I love this stuff. And again, No, no, no morality, no right or wrong or good or bad Black White. And today weve got Dave Seymour. And I was thinking about it. So once that five millions in that moneys out. Your your email and your information. For that, Im grateful. And again, to my point, isnt everybody. Then I would work part time. You know, Look, man, Im not a huge religious guy, but Im definitely a man. I was listening to you. As soon as we hit five million, were investing. Its multi family complex is in the right market under the right conditions, but we buy the right price now. Thats f r e e d o m venture dot com, and youll get this. I hope that was clear enough that theres theres a lot of movie props on our side, but on the invest decide its easy. Is that correct? If if their friendships, Im for always Im gonna wrap it up with this one. You know, a lot of these smaller educators just sell him bullshit in a box for 1000 bucks is what I call it. But the bottom bottom line is when youre in the trenches, when youre doing the work, you actually know what is actually happening versus being a professor. Because during this covert time is you know, Dave, entrepreneurs are really just under so much stress and correct. Theyve heard all of my personal relationships. Its too scary. I have a question, Dave. I just had to be Oh, that plan waas trade time for money. So be careful before you try it on your own. Its, uh, but its the short intervals, like 2025 5, 15 minute intervals that you do each day on. Yeah, its a business plan. So, you know, the TV show was was great for that one day Im sitting in the firehouse. A mentor whos in the real estate business built to real estate companies, took one public Warren Buffett bodies on the boardwalk. My my marriage. Like, uh Well, Dave, I gotta drive, actually down to L. A. Four years later, we went, I dont know. Opening Up More Opportunities. I say that youre gonna lose the opportunity thats in front of you will be. Theyre small. All Rights Reserved. So the 38 maybe 38 39 years old. Jefferson. Where did Where did everybody go? Cant be that difficult, right? When you do really sit at freedom venture dot com. Were on score box and theres Joe and Andrew and Becky. I jumped out of bed and go play every day, so Im active. So its its prime to do really, really well for our investors. I said, Im in the fact that we live in America and you could file bankruptcy and she started crying and she said I work for the Postal Service, not Postal service. You have kept it to Onley. Dave Seymour was a firefighter for 16 years and is now a full-time real estate investor who also was on the A&E's hit TV show "Flipping Boston". And thats what differentiated you. Is it cured in this fund? Yeah, right. Youve done it before. David Seymour relationship list. The results that Ive got have not given me joy. And for us, its housing. I actually I actually got a royalty check because its playing in turkey and I got I got a royalty check for, like, $500. I dont know what to do other than try something different, and I believe that this is the path and she looked at me and its funny. Lets talk about pre post Covic business life, whatever. Dave, I will never, ever make that mistake again. So actually, when I get off this call today at two oclock, I got a marketing meeting with my guys on. Lets see. And then and then in that nanosecond, the voice off truth for one of a better term over palette It and that voice had a lot of profanity in it. Blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and some pure not the brilliance came out of my mouth. Hes deployed that capital in that period of time. Peter Souhleris and Dave Seymour, the squabbling contractors on A&E 's "Flipping Boston," like many couples, met via the Internet. People go more money. Within his first few years, Dave had transacted millions of dollars of real estate and had become one of the nation's leading experts in both residential and commercial transactions. You know, its funny. He said to me, I dont want to do ones East twosies meaning one apartment complex or two or three apartment complexes individually each time, he said. I just identify the very best people that I can in the core competencies that I need fulfilled. He gets into how he started, being a firefighter, and his multifamily syndication venture. I got fantastic advisory board and great great partners, great partners. This is a short bio of the two Flipping Formula Creators, Peter Souhleris and Dave Seymour. Im having a lot of conversations. I like the plot. And then, Yeah, Ill just say, like, if anybodys listening to their new to that sort of investment, I mean, the 100 page, thank ppm. Its Its heavy, man. So I changed my mind. So once they connect, yeah, they can access the ppm, which is whats called the private placement memorandum. So, you know, it was the TV show was a blessing and a curse. So this this is this is my This is my my run, man. You know, I I joked a little while back there about ego coming into the party. Im actually going to New York and a couple of weeks. . A blessing for its exposure occurs for its financial benefits. Then I would work. Im always pumped up When I get done with Dave. It affords me to die on my own sword to be able his, you know, build a business right. Dave Seymour In a first for the Real Estate Crowdfunding Show, today I welcome a veritable reality show star, Dave Seymour, the former lead on A&E's Flipping Boston. You know what I mean? I dont know. But for that we could work work capital very aggressively and safely at the same time because of our proprietary underwriting and then verticals to fix these assets, put new property managers in their turn them around. Dont lie. I thought I told you not to call me. Thats Ah, thats a great, great question, Andi. And he said, Because of my track record in the marketplace, Im going to get inbound calls from sellers lower in our marketing costs and marketing is gonna be all about outbound calls for capital to come into the farm. Yeah, I picked up a rowing machine is called Hydro. I guess when youre in those environments, youre both so intense, right? And Dave has so much energy that youre going to be pumped up when you just leave this episode. Youre gonna want your kid to have all these degrees because its insurance policy. I paid for five specific classes and to this day, I only ever attended to I think, Good Lord. An expert to expert interview. No dunk a dunk money over. Hey, strategy I dont you hang up on him, he actually calls you back. Somebody elses trial and error that has created we call it the buy box. So Ive learned those lessons. Man, Im like, Run, Forrest, run! Okay, So I immigrated on a fiancee visa at the age of 20 years old, where we dio finally know how we let you in tow sex, sex, man, it was sex. But at the end of the day, yeah, of course, people like, Oh, you, Brandon, you like, get a lot of attention. For that, it was my relationships, right? So his where were at today were setting it up with those two options and both the correct, the only wrong and so is to do nothing right so dependent on somebodys the and I am processes. I know youre working out because I can see you, but youre making no progress, like, just just to tune the diet. Right now, the CEO is a young gun cool guy. Im rooting for your success and well keep a ni out and have you back next year. If you like a little Bob Marley, what that does is it. David, he said, Heres the thing. Hes taking all his real estate experience and bringing it to the commercial real estate world with a new venture capital fund. I dont You know, Im not always charging money for my for my influence today. You could do it as an active investor or a passive investor. Hi Dave I come from Australia and love your show. I didnt cheat. But you do know all this information, because by this time, you had four seasons, which is at least 13 houses a piece or something. Jack and I were talking and we did a recording like experts who expert interview and he said something to me and he said, David, you know, its almost Please dont take this the wrong way. Freedom Venture is Heres what Ive learned over all my years and all the companies Ive tried in the ones that Ive had successes. They called everybody Youngs and yall. Youll love this. Yeah, we we were affiliated or align whatever term you want to use with Daymond John from Shark Tank. And that was how I transitioned out of, you know, just being a student to be to being an educator before the TV show, which was interested. And it was interesting for me because I found myself on the other side of the curtain, if you will, in real estate education, and I learned very quickly that there is good and then there is very, very bad in that arena. Its like I love watching. You know, Ive run a small construction company. So I picked up the phone on I look at it. Im like, Well, I know how to dig a ditch. Time out. Im getting up early again. Yeah. The online funnel. And theres a gentleman there, a ton of experience. Yeah, Im excited. Id love to. I guess the dirty secret is no one actually reads the book, so Im not that worried, but if you read the book, Im reading his new traffic secrets. People are now paycheck to paycheck on when the bank puts their hand out. Dave Seymour is a famous entrepreneur that became known thanks to real estate series Flipping Boston that focuses on house flipping in Boston area. He goes, Well, what do you have that I said? I have overeducated, I guess if you call to monsters and $150,000 worth of it, not including my undergraduate and some close masters work in another place nearby my house. Toe leverage All the experience that you have. Did you do the marketing thing? Come for Boston. Teachers arent youre not going to study it and then teach it and be effective, like until you can go to bed at night knowing that youve got a payment on that house that youre flipping, thats doing a balloon payment in 90 days. Yes. The show follows the two opinionated flippers as they solve issues they discover while renovating. Venture dot com or where do you have? Exactly. When when my house was in pre foreclosure and it all went on my wifes credit cards and I straight up, she looked at me on that Sunday morning and she said to me, What do you think? Id love to be on it. Weve got to make sure that youre a fit for us, as we offer you. Yeah, I just want a better rate of return on my money than the stock market. Real estate, education and training is based more around hope than anything else, he said. But anyway, no, I dont have an American passport and a British. So yeah, thats where we met. It just is a natural progression that you would raise a fund and take your expertise and knowledge and all of these other great team members that you have put together and and put together a fund and just do it on a larger scale. Youre in this bad place, I guess 30 years sober now. I started to get financial education a zwelling as real estate processes, systems and education. Look, man, you just said it all the instructions air in the book Theyre in a 14 99 book there in ah, there in a you know, a one day virtual seminar. Theres no you are targeting close at the end of this year and then e I mean, but youre a soon as you hit that threshold day, youre gonna start investing like thats how the fun starts, right? Photos provided by City Light Homes. Yeah, thats the landing page on the front page of our website. Together. How did the couple on Flipping Boston meet? How many days are you hitting that thing? And Im kind of like pounding on the steering wheel. I never knew that, Dave, actually. Dont fix it. How are you today in? Were gonna have some fun, brother. But, you know, we got we got some nice art because there that we that we consistently put out. Man. What about this? I said, Ive got I got an associates degree in fire science because whats whats an associates degree? I mean, theres theres a whole group of those thats, you know, Frank Kern. Whats next? But do you think that your ability to jump off that cliff and cross the bridge was because you were at rock bottom? Just get on a plane train or an automobile. In my head, Im a firefighter or a heart, right? And look, man, its not. But what that does do, though, is is it limits the amount of non accredited investors into a certain investment fund on thats up for the fund managers Thio determine that. And were doing whatever 13 in the first is in 29 subsequently and then doing your own investments. Were already beginning to see a $5 million capitalization rate, which is coming in the verbal commitments at this point. You know what I mean? Like I say to my guys all the time. It has its risks if not done properly. And then we were the first ones to come back in 2000 and 10 or 11 is was around there. And if you look at commercial real estate investing in a multifamily arena, its outperformed all other commercial asset classes. You look back and you gauge what investments have outperformed, what other investments and then their risk analysis. My brain is wired this way, but when I flip that switch on, I make a decision. I got this field and thats where it started. And I realized that day that that things needed to change. You must be intelligent enough to understand real estate, which blows me away, absolutely blows me away. Like, I believe that theres something bigger and better. On the end, Im like they just asked me a question. Russell Bronson is his name. 7 of pressure per pound. So it was a powerful journey. I mean, at the end of it, I think it was like for 30 grand an episode. You want to teach it? He says, that hes applyingWarren Buffetts main rules of investing into stock on properties. Its in the basement and its like the peloton right with, like youve got a screen and you can interact with other with other users and growers. Whatever floor you want is what youre doing working for you. Because at that point, probably in trouble because you cant know all those things deep enough. And what Ive found is that most people actually just dont do it. I got close circuit TV cameras, You know what I mean? Ive always looked at every relationship. I appreciate you asking me that question. And commercial came on the radio and it was teach me foreclosure. Go right. Yeah, its going to detract next. So that creates a housing crisis in the sense of people are gonna have to leave their homes and go somewhere else. We need 13 more episodes, and Im like, thats 13 houses. But to be on this podcast with you today, theres been a lot of bridge under the water. Its an investment, but heres that targeted return on. But he sent me a funny sent me a vanilla application for a download toe. He spent it, I bought assets with it. But heres why Im mad at Russell. So, yes, rock bottom was a was a component, But heres the other one, and I think this one is actually more powerful. Im like, 19.5 years old. Hey, thank you so much for coming on board. Right. So we went through the investment to create the fund. Nice kitchen. More. And, you know, its funny, Brennan, I always think about you know, you said it earlier on today, before we started recording planting seeds on. Dave. Send 15 minutes, Brandon, the phone rings 212 Area code New York. I need your help. Today. I ran in, sort of, ah, acquire circle, mainly because I had this fishing site and everybody was like, Yeah, youre never gonna make money with that Little did they know that, turning all that traffic into. Lets go. Once youre accredited, the SEC says you could now look at my alternative investments because youre intelligent enough to earn 200. We dont just put piping cop it in and say, Oh, look at this fantastic food, you know, like they do in Las Vegas or some of these other markets. Kids laughing his ass off on the other end of the phone. Big picture. David has a lot of experiences from the real estate market. But Ive walked away from probably 10 or 15 flips that I would have done pre co vid. I think you were on the panel as an investor, and we were doing like a like a shark tank pitch kind of a thing.
